FINAL PROJECT 1: THEATRE OF THE MIND

Dreams have been described as dress rehearsals for real life, opportunities to gratify wishes, and a form of nocturnal therapy. A new theory aims to make sense of it all. These images were inspired by the idea of consciousness and unconsciousness, we recall only a fraction of what we dream about, unless written down the moment we woke up, it tend to be evanescent, the details quickly fading as we made our way through the day. 

I shot these the photography in a studio setting, to evoke the transience of beauty and the fragility of dreams, delicate, ethereal style, I use a slow shutter speed 1.00s to capture the motion blur into the image. To create the dreamy/haze effect, I stretch some plastic wrap over the front of your lens, and rub a small amount of vaseline onto the plastic.

Here are the before and after of my images, and their layers:

Photographer Research pt.II – Paul Rousteau

Paul Rousteau, a France photographer, often overexposed or out of focus, his photographs are series of playful experiments. By pushing the camera to its limits, the artist creates new forms of perception. The result made of vivid colors and enigmatic figures has something of a daydream with a touch of kaleidoscopic hallucinations. His works are mainly navigating between figuration and abstraction, painting and digital art.

Eden, Visions of Joy

Each of them bathed in warm Californian colors therefore, often a bit blurred, like watercolors, somewhat fleeting, like a dream right after waking. Abstraction is never far off, his photographs are pure impressions.

For my final assignment, I would like experiment with different colours and motions to create interesting composition that’s draws the viewer in.

Exercise 2. The landscape

Before

 

After

I used the photo that I took for exercise 1 with a landscape background. I took a photography of my friend at Jurong lake gardens and decided to capture the etherial, airier quality photograph. When it came to editing the photo, I wanted to create the dreamy, soft visuals photos in which the tone of the photography is slightly purple/pink.
